One Stroke Flowers over Color Club Get a Clue

I decided that Color Club Get a Clue would provide a lovely background for my first one stroke flower attempt. I have seen lots of tutorials on the technique, but have been hesitating to actually try it. Turns out is it not as scary as one might have imagined. I used white and periwinkle blue acrylic paint along with a flat angled brush to create the flowers...

The first attempt is a basic one, but now that the ice is broken I will hopefully be playing around with one stroke flowers a lot more...

I would love to know what you think of this! Have you tried the one stroke technique before?

I haven't actually seen this technique before, but it is absolutely gorgeous! The colors you chose are so pretty and delicate. Somehow I can just picture this with bright colors and a big hibiscus style/anthers angling out from the left side... I'd love to see that!

Thank you so much for all your sweet words and encouragement. Yes, it was my first time trying it, but I did watch lots of tutorials so I think it helped! I can't wait to try more one stroke painting! :D
